An integrated biochemical and physical model for the composting process
Solé Mauri, Francina; Illa i Alibés, Josep; Magrí Aloy, Albert; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Flotats i Ripoll, Xavier (Elsevier, 2007)A dynamic model for the composting process has been developed, which integrates several biochemical and physical processes. Different microbial populations (mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi) ... -
Combined Acidification and Solar Drying of Pig Slurries for Nutrient Recovery and Controlled Atmospheric Emissions
Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Fernández, Belén; Viñas, Marc; Noguerol, Joan; Soler, Joan; Illa i Alibés, Josep (MDPI, 2021)The solar drying of pig slurries was tested in a pilot-scale greenhouse (10 m2 footprint), operated with forced ventilation under low and high solar irradiation in Mediterranean conditions. Gaseous emissions were prevented ... -
Downstream bioprocessing of CS2-polluted emissions: innovative use of a black slag in mixed biofilters
Rojo, Naiara; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Illa i Alibés, Josep; Gallastegui, Gorka; Guivernau, Miriam; Elías, Ana; Barona, Astrid (Elsevier, 2015-04-14)Black slag from an electric arc furnace (EAF) was used as an innovative inorganic co-packing material in organic biofilters for the biodegradation of CS2-polluted gases. The effect on biofilter performance of increasing ... -
Empirical characterisation and mathematical modelling of settlement in composting batch reactors
Illa i Alibés, Josep; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Bonmatí Blasi, August; Flotats i Ripoll, Xavier (Elsevier, 2012)The settlement of organic matter during composting was measured at different levels during the active biodegradation phase in forced-aerated static reactors loaded with different mixtures of organic wastes. The temperature ... -
Influence of synthetic packing materials on the gas dispersion and biodegradation kinetics in fungal air biofilters
Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Illa i Alibés, Josep; Groenestijn, Johan W. van; Flotats i Ripoll, Xavier (Springer, 2008)The biodegradation of toluene was studied in two lab-scale air biofilters operated in parallel, packed respec- tively with perlite granules (PEG) and polyurethane foam cubes (PUC) and inoculated with the same ... -
Long-chain fatty acids inhibition and adaptation process in anaerobic thermophilic digestion: Batch tests, microbial community structure and mathematical modelling
Palatsi Civit, Jordi; Illa i Alibés, Josep; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Laureni, M.; Fernández García, Belén; Angelidaki, I.; Flotats i Ripoll, Xavier (Elsevier, 2010)Biomass samples taken during the continuous operation of thermophilic anaerobic digestors fed with manure and exposed to successive inhibitory pulses of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) were characterized in terms of specific ... -
Microbial community dynamics in two-chambered microbial fuell cells: effect of different ion exchange membranes
Sotres, Ana; Díaz-Marcos, Jordi; Guivernau, Miriam; Illa i Alibés, Josep; Magrí Aloy, Albert; Prenafeta-Boldú, Francesc Xavier; Bonmatí Blasi, August; Viñas, Marc (Society of Chemical Industry; John Wiley & Sons, 2015)The utilization of different kinds of ion exchange membrane is a common practice in bioelectrochemical systems such as two-chambered microbial fuel cells (MFCs). However, little is known about the effect of membrane materials ...
